Located in the PetCo parking lot just a short walk from the San Diego
Convention Center, Ice Cream Citadel will provide visitors with free ice
cream in two flavors: "Villain-illa" and "Scourgeberry Sorbet." In
partnership with Yelp, Blizzard has also created a Yelp business page
for the pop-up, titled "The Lich King's Ice Cream Citadel," where users
can rate, review, and post photos of their experience. Starting July 18,
those brave enough to call the business (1-855-LIC-HKNG) will be greeted
by the Lich King's chilling voice.

Hearthstone is a free-to-play digital card game featuring quick
and lively duels that evoke the spirit of a friendly match played beside
a crackling tavern fire. Launching in August, the Knights of the
Frozen Throne expansion will take players to the frozen lands of
Northrend, where they'll raid Icecrown Citadel, the Lich King's frozen
fortress, and challenge the Lord of the Scourge for his seat on the
Frozen Throne.
